Community Action Program Of East Central Oregon

This service provides in-home assistance to seniors residing in their own homes, encompassing tasks such as housekeeping, personal care, laundry, shopping, and meal preparation. Additionally, it includes case management to aid older adults in making economical and suitable choices regarding their care requirements. The number of service hours per individual is determined by assessed needs and local funding, typically ranging from 5 to 20 hours each week. Scenarios where Oregon Project Independence may be suitable include situations where an individual needs personal and home care support due to illness or injury, or when someone has been discharged from the hospital and requires assistance during their recovery at home. For intake, individuals can call or visit the website for further details, noting that some services might have a waitlist. The initial application process is conducted through APD. Fees are calculated on a sliding scale, based on the household's monthly income after deducting monthly medical expenses.
